Harry Hardwick scored a $100,000 “Fight of the Night” bonus for his back-and-forth war against Marwan Rahiki as part of the UFC Vegas 114 MMA event last weekend in Las Vegas, giving him enough cash to buy 100 Golden Opulence Sundaes at Serendipity 3 in New York City.
Unfortunately, the 31 year-old Englishman will be relegated to milkshakes and warm soup after having his jaw shattered by the “Freaky” Australian. In fact, the impact was so severe, it dislodged one of Hardwick’s molars and sent him straight
into surgery to repair the damage.
Have a look:
“My jaw is obviously f*cked,” Hardwick said on Instagram. “That’s all right. I like soup. I like smoothies and I like milkshakes and I like energy drinks. So all these things, I can still have. Life’s good. I cannot complain about my position. I have an amazing, beautiful girlfriend, good health, good family, good support network. No one needs to cry for me. I’m okay.”
Hardwick (13-5-1) was one of two fighters hospitalized after the event.
“I’m obviously gutted but that’s the sport I’m in,” Hardwick added. “I wanted to win but it is what it is. Hats off to Marwan. He threw the shot that broke my jaw. He did it on purpose. It’s not luck. It is what it is.”
